I finally got a TLR 😂. surprisingly good fun, the hood opens to view the screen.

Always cool to come across a photographer I wasn’t aware of before. hatandbeard.com/products/fuj...

Helios 55mm lens is surprisingly capable at f8.

Having fun with a #helios lens. Apparently my childhood is now history.

A few more from yesterday’s car show with the #helios 55mm lens.

Reflection selfie. It’s the law innit. #Helios

Early Sunday DIY shopping with a Helios 58mm lens.

Blackpool in the rain with a Helios lens. I counted seven ankle tags in 2 hours. I do like Blackpool.

As a teenager I was stood in a lift next to Barbara Windsor. I must have been staring because she winked at me & said ‘Alright sweetheart’. I blushed, doors opened, she got out with a cheery wave goodbye.

My dream home, if you add a gun turret. #helios

Current mood #helios

Felt a bit uninspired. So walked around here once with an old 17mm lens, then again with a Helios 55mm. It was fun.

My first haul of smelly pee season. And so my annual few weeks of overdosing on asparagus begins. #helios

I admire places that stay closed on Good Friday. #Helios

Early morning in the city. A 17mm lens may have featured. For @ilfordphoto.com #fridayfavourites #aprilondp3200

A wonderful stroll with a cheap & cheerful Pentax M 50mm F1.7 lens.

Zeit EM & expired Kodak Gold. It’s nigh on impossible to use now due to what looks like degraded silvering on the pentaprism. A common problem apparently. Definitely qualifies for #crappycommiecameraparty

According to the Treasury the average full time wage in the UK in 1974 was £41.70. Polaroid sx70 was nearly three weeks wages.

Inspired by @gavgordontogo.bsky.social to look back at my photos from Prague.

On the beach with the #helios lens.

It might just be the Olympus XA2 that gets me using more film again. It’s a fun thing to use.

Al Fresco dining. #helios

See a mirror take a selfie. It’s the law apparently. #Helios

A walk in the woods with a Helios 44M lens. #sonya7

A day that never really got light. #Helios

Taking the Helios for a walk around a run down town, it’s about to be demolished & ‘transformed’ …

In a village graveyard #helios #sonya7

I really should spend more time here. Whenever I dip my toe in it seems quite a nice place. This month I have been mostly putting old lens on a Sony a7. That’s my problem, for me the increased cost of film has killed the fun of shooting it.

Nothing better on a winters evening than lurking.

I haven’t really used film this year, but #shittycamerachallenge has started my mojo. Final choice is these 3, the 1920s Ensign box camera was a gift from that nice chap @grumpyfck.bsky.social

#helios lenses on the North Wales coast.

I think I have my weapon of choice for #shittycamerachallenge luckily I am up to date with my tetanus jabs.

Post a pic YOU took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline

So I was looking forward to #folderweek , staying in the middle of nowhere. Opened the camera to find a roll of HP5+ stuck to the pressure plate. Ah well.

Touch the clouds. Hiking with a #Helios lens. I need to put more effort in on here.

When the sunrise hits the morning dew on the lawn. #sonya7 #pentax #50mm

Helios holidaying on Scotlands west coast.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #1,640,702!

If you thought film prices were high you should see official sock prices. So why do I want them so much.
